Live Out the Rule of Discipleship

At Manchester United Methodist Church, discipleship is more than belief—it’s how we live and love in the world.

Our Rule of Discipleship calls us “to witness to Jesus Christ in the world and to follow his teachings through acts of compassion, justice, worship, and devotion under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.”

God calls each of us in different ways. Wherever you are on your faith journey, there is a place for you to engage, grow, and serve.

Explore the areas below and sign up for the one—or more—that speak to where God is calling you.
